She is lowest in the pecking order. Found this today. Did they really peck her this much or is it something else?? They never seem to be fighting or anything. What do I do? Poor thing :(

I scoop the poop board daily and this wasn’t here yesterday. Tons of black powder on top of the sand. It’s usually white. We have sand and PDZ and it is not damp. Not sure what this is from but it happened overnight while they were roosting which makes me think mites???

Long story short I’m not sure if this is fowl pox or peck marks. She’s the lowest chicken in the flock but I’ve never noticed them getting at her so I’m sort of afraid it’s pox. We have a ton of mosquitos here in the south after days of rain.

One of my hens has some blue on the tip of her comb. She’s acting completely normal. No wheezing and she’s still running for treats. Her egg production is still the same. I checked her vent and couldn’t see any sign of lice or mites but maybe it’s not obvious? We had a weather change. It’s been...

I collected a different colored egg today but I’m trying to figure out which hen laid it. The light colored one. It’s super light. Mostly out of curiosity. I’ve been collecting from my speckled Sussex and buff Orpington but today one of my blue langshans squatted the big squat when I pet her and...

I thought that my buff Orpington had laid first and was the only one laying. I’d never seen any hens go into the coop so I couldn’t be sure. Her comb was just the most red. I’ve been collecting her eggs on the coop floor or poop board. Gross. Hoping that if I make the nesting box more...

Hi! Our first hen of 4 just started laying. Every morning For the past few days I’m finding an egg on the poop board. She’s never laid in the box. It’s a rollaway. I tried putting more hemp and a fake egg in the nest box to encourage but no luck. There’s no way for me to see when she goes to...

Do I have a pullet or a roo here? 21 weeks...I thought I heard an egg song from her last week and the week before but nothing yet. I didn’t think buff Orpingtons combs got so big in hens...😳

I’m curious if these chicks are the same breed bc they look so different to me! They’re supposed to be blue langshans But I’m not sure how much variance there is in this breed. One has gray feet with a black face no white and all over blue/gray and the other has white markings everywhere with...

These SS chicks aren’t even 3 weeks yet...safe to say we have a rooster on our hands? I know it’s early but between the reddish huge comb, gigantic feet, and sparse tail...my guy is telling me he’s all boy.

Hi! I never thought I’d own a bird let alone chickens! I’ve always loved animals but never knew I wanted them until my sister got some. So far we have 5. We ordered 6 but one did not make it shortly after she arrived. I think we’ll end up with 4 because even though it’s early I’m pretty sure one...
